It’s kinda hard to listen
when you physically can’t hear.

5/26/18

Hearing and listening are two entirely different things, but sometimes one cannot be held accountable for listening and blamed as ignorant or less attentive than the next guy if he or she physically cannot hear. You need to hear before you can listen.

To the Class of 2018....

Walk the stage without a care,
Present your speech with a bit of prayer,
Throw your cap up in the air,
And show up anyone who ever dared
To tell you the opportunity wasn’t there,
Because you did it.

Congratulations, class of 2018!

It’s nearly 5am and I should be getting ready to sleep, but this graduating stuff still has me hyped, even after the celebrating is over. We did it, guys! Hold on to this same attitude of energizing inspiration, motivation, and celebration, because it’s only going to get better from here. Congratulations, class of 2018! WE DID IT!

Pine Tree

Pretty, little pine tree,
My, how you’ve grown...
Why, my little pine tree,
Must you grow alone?
Please, oh, little pine tree,
As the winds do moan,
Do, little pine, see
There’s no need to groan.

Precious, little pine tree,
Although your branches break,
Dear little pine tree,
Don’t feel you have to fake.
Because, my little pine, see
This weight’s not your to take.
So breathe, my little pine tree.
Relax. Enjoy the lake.

Needles fall, branches crumble, but the void is replaced in due time. Why? It’s in their nature; trees grow.

City Limits

Take me past the city limits,
Away from metal, structural rivets.
Down those back roads, through the divots,
To see the dream, but also live it.

Does the city limit?

Chancing in the Rain

Go dancing
And leaping
And flying
And bounding
And twirling
And lifting
And laughing
And smiling
And don’t lose hope,
It’s never gone.
Maintain patience,
And you know you’ve won.

You’re never alone,
So just stop chasing.
One will think you’re great,
Maybe even amazing.

Don’t waste time worrying,
It’s worth the waiting,
And that’s when you’ll feel
Your heartbeat elating.

You’ll get your surprise
When it’s least expected,
Like when he ran through the rain
And decided to chance it.

You never once thought
One was looking out for you.
The unexpected best friend, a gentleman...
Him. Who knew?

mantra six

feelings that are corroborated
are somehow more real
than those that are hidden
